Develop an explosive dodge, a quick, deceptive shot and get the ball on net more consistently.

Nick Myers, Head Coach at The Ohio State University breaks down the fundamental skills and drills that coaches and athletes can use to become a complete offensive lacrosse player. The skills covered include stick work, shooting, and dodging. Myers takes you through each skill by breaking it down as well as explaining how each drill is important to the skill development.

STICK WORKMyers shows you how to set up your stick and how to create a pocket to successfully dodge, shoot and bang the ball around the horn. Learn the basics of delivering a crisp, hard pass and the essentials to catching.

WALL BALLGo to the wall with a purpose! Develop explosive hands for throwing, shooting and finishing. Included are warm up drills and an eight-part wall ball workout that delivers a competitive progression of skills. This workout includes one cradle, quick sticks, one hand-one cradle, catch & switch, grounders, shovels, cross-hands, and backhands. Effectively use the wall to build muscle and develop a stronger stick.

FORM SHOOTINGLearn to change up your shot and use deception to make the most of each scoring opportunity. To help your players become complete shooters, Myers demonstrates the finer points of shooting form, types of shots, shots on the run and finishing opportunities. Myers demonstrates the basic skills and drills needed to develop quick hands and to get more shots on-cage.

DODGINGBreakdown the defense by forcing them to slide, move and rotate. Myers shows you how you can create an explosive, physical dodge.Learn essential speed ladder drills to train effective footwork, speed and explosiveness. Myers teaches the basics of dodging and demonstrates four different types of dodges: the split dodge, the roll dodge, the face dodge and the swim dodge.

Myers also delivers instruction on:

The long dodge

How to read a slide

How to play out of a double team

Quick dodges from the back side

Four moves you can use behind the cage

Myers uses unique skill cues to teach his techniques that are sure to resonate with your players. He uses golf analogies to teach shot selection and uses Play Station language to teach dodging.

To be the best player and the best coach you must be a student of the game. This DVD will teach you develop the fundamental skills and drills you need to become to become an offensive force on your team.

Overall I thought this was a very good video, especially the dodging portion. However, the stickwork part was lacking in content. The wall ball, form shooting and dodging sections were all very clearly explained and made quite simple, top notch (Coach Myers was well prepared!). Beyond the content itself was a coaching style worthy of some study itself. I would certainly buy another video by Coach Myers.

One of the best videos on lacrosse fundamentals. Stick work dodging and shooting are broken down to their basic elements I hope Coach Myers has more coming.

I got halfway through this video and had to hit the stop button as I became overloaded with information. This is a good thing. It is evident throughout this video that Coach Myer prepared and rehearsed his material thoroughly before the record button was ever hit - something other coaches in the Championship video vault do not seem to do. He takes great care in describing and teaching various skills of the game, from holding the stick and throwing, to shooting and executing dodges. While seemingly basic, Coach Meyer's easy delivery and ability to literally break these skills down step by step provides useful tips that any coach, no matter how experienced, can find helpful in reinforcing and teaching the fundamentals. This video would be most useful for coaches at the youth and middle school levels, however, high school coaches would benefit as well. Overall, Coach Meyer gives the viewer his/her money's worth and serves as a good example for other coaches in the Championship line to emulate.

Coach Myers's video is in a word fantastic! I have never seen shooting and dodging broken down so thoroughly. No small detail is lost on this great teacher. There is so much great information on this video that I will have to watch it a few times to let all drills sink
in. I recommend this to any High School or Youth coach.
